Baby Blanket Number 3

I've been busy crocheting for another tiny arrival - this time for one of my closest friends from uni, she was my bridesmaid and I was hers. I obviously wanted to make something really special for her and spent some time looking at different potential blankets. In the end I settled on this one, using the colour recipe by the Patchwork Heart: see here. She doesn't know what sex the baby is so another gender neutral blanket - although to be honest I think I'd do something similar even if the parents knew what they were having.

I'm really pleased with it, and she was delighted when I gifted it to her last week. Baby is due end of the month, so hopefully it will keep the little one nice and warm. I also made some little booties and a tiny hat to go with it - I'm hoping I'll have some time to make a few more gifts to post when baby is here.

How beautiful!!! Such lovely things. I am sure that your friend - and baby! - will love them a great deal and that the blanket especially will become a real treasure. The colours are great for anyone, young or old!

No doubt the little blanket will be going to hospital when the time comes. It is really beautiful. I love all colours of the rainbow and this would be my blanket of choice if I had another baby (no chance, four kids are plenty). x
